Hi Experts:
At the start of September my Voodoo 5 passed away and I
purchased a new one off the OEM market.
A couple of weeks ago I tried GPL but that froze hard as
soon as I dropped into the cockpit, requiring a hard power
off to regain control of my PC. The joystick inputs were
working, I could hear the engine rev and the gears click as
I looked at the frozen screen.
It was suggested that I drop the clock rate on the V5 as
a possible solution.
I've installed the drivers and I can get the Voodoo
screen from the "Advanced Settings" of my monitor property
display.
I don't see where I set the overclocking of the display
card.
What do I do to change the clocking?
Thanks
Larry
on the 3dfx tools hub is a link to a web site that will install an extra
3dfx tool to over/underclock your V5. However, since 3dfx has been sold &
killed off by Nividia, the website is inactive. You may have to search the
3dfx fan websites that might have the file in their archives. Good luck...
if You enabled that...the overclocking tab will show up just like the other
properties of your video card.

there might be some old registry entries. Did you uninstall the
previous drivers and/or was your previous V5 card overclocked? If
"underclocking" the card doesn't help, I'd try installing some different
drivers to see if that may help. Which drivers are you using (1.0.4
were latest "official" drivers that were directx 8 compliant for
win98). My father-in-law just inherited my old V5, and he had some odd
problems with specific games (with the 104 drivers), but they were not
related to drivers or the card, just game oddities (Hornet Korea and
SDOE color and resolution issues). Also, make sure the fans on the V5
are working. One of mine died without my knowledge and it caused
overheating.

way of sorting out what is wrong. It seems like a heat issue that
arises from overclocking, but it may be from poor cooling, poor
airflow or a hardware problem.
The best program to use for over/underclocking ANY video card is
powerstrip, from www.entechtaiwan.com Just click on default and it
will set it to the defaults. Then set it lower or higher depending on
what you want.
